What keeps you living, hopes? dreams? people? Faith?

Sometimes I don't want to see this life through. I want to know what keeps you afloat.

    Like you, I have once had the feeling of not wanting to see "life through." I think as humans, we live for a reason. For me, what keeps me living is the simple experience of living. You are in control of your own life, don't let society fool you, perhaps now is a time to look into yourself more. Everyone in life struggles, I would say a pretty large percentage of the population today are unhappy with their lives. The best cure is to slow down, and start looking into yourself. Life is not about having the best career, money, hoping for more. Life is about living in the present, without worrying too much about the future or concerning yourself about the past. Do not cling onto anything, just believe in yourself and know that the truth is in you.

    Hey J Bird I guess I've lived long enough to know that what doesn't kill us makes us stronger and as we get stronger we make smarter choices. In additon life has brought me too many wonderful surprises and has also brought almost unbearable pain. There is a balance there it's just real slow sometimes which in it's self is part of the process.

    Through it all I've not wavered from my belief not even in my darkest days I managed to keep the faith or should I say faith has managed me.

    Let go and let God.

    I have to start with my faith in God, I believe my faith has seen me through many sad and trying times. Without my faith , I can't even think where I'd be. Then my grand children I want to see them graduate high school and go to college (if that's what they want.) They have giving me so much joy and keep me wanting more. And to continue having holidays with our family. which I love we get together Easter.Thanksgiving. Christmas there is 31 of us, and at least 21 to 25 make it for dinner on these holidays. I love my nieces and nephews, and want to continue keeping up with the ins and outs of them and there family.

  • Having Faith in a higher power, God. My Hopes and Dreams push me to live life out to the fullest. To at least give it a try. There's no sense in killing yourself because there's that lingering possibility that it could've changed. Things could've gotten better. But, you'd never know because you off'd yourself. Although life has it's ups and downs I wouldn't end it just yet because I love myself too much. That's be selfish to end it all prematurely.

    of direction! and the way approximately protecting God on your Heath occupation so help you help others! do no longer grow to be self primary and grasping as too many medical doctors are at the instant?

There are a lot of individuals that could no longer even rigidity and are refused many occupations or produce different disabilities. you may get excitement from ALL they you do have, which incorporates the stable memory! think of of individuals that are ravenous and are fortunate in the event that they could get sparkling water to drink!...

    One phrase keeps me from ending it

    "Why not live? You will eventually die anyways why not see what life throws at ya then die. Thats like renting a movie just to watch the final credits"

    Hope for a better tomorrow. Faith in humanity. People because I love them! :o)

  • People doesn't really keep me going, sooner or later most of them backstab you. My dreams and faith are the only things that keep me going. I want to better myself and be wealthy, healthy, and happy.

    EDIT: oh yeah, my family, they keep me going.

    Mostly people and faith. Wondering what my family would do if I weren't here hits me the hardest.
